17 FREE Organization Printables! I am definitely not what I would consider an organized person. Although I think as I get older I become more repetitive in the things I do and the way I do them. So, I suppose that could be part of being more organized than I used to be.

I have never been a list maker… well, I say that – but, to be honest – I can make a list of things I want to do or need to do and because it’s usually written on scrap paper or a napkin it never actually gets completed because it gets lost or thrown away.

I love that you can find FREE printables to help with anything you need online! You can find printables to help you cook better, clean house more efficiently, budget, save while shopping, and even chore charts for kids! It’s amazing all of the FREE resources you can find online!

Today we are going to look at 17 FREE Organization Printables to help you (and me 🙂 ) organize life!

DIY Dollar Tree Spice Rack Under $1! Since changing to a sugar free lifestyle a few years ago and I lost over 100 lbs (Aarn has lost almost 2oo lbs), Hubby has been doing all the cooking – for dinner anyway. He has become very knowledgeable in this way of eating and living that it just made the most sense to let him do all of the cooking. (Am I really gonna argue?! lol) I do the dishes, and he does the cooking – sounds good to me!

Well,… except… he began to accumulate spices – a TON of spices, all sorts of spices. He bought some, he got some for Father’s Day from our DD, who made an adorable basket filled with spices and rubs and things for grilling out, he got some for Christmas from his parents, and he got some from companies who want him to use them and write about them. Now we have large bottles of spices, small jars of spices, bags full of spices, boxes of spices, and even cans of spices taking up residence in the kitchen.

Over time, these spices had filled up 2 cabinets and his favorite spices, JUST his favorite ones, began to fill an entire counter! So, a while back I posted a picture on the Grocery Shop For FREE Facebook page asking for help with his spice “area” in my kitchen – it was a mess! I didn’t know how to corral them or take my counter back!

I did get a lot of great suggestions, one of my favorites was to use 2 round cake pans – one on the bottom filled with marbles and then one on top filled with the spices and it works like a Lazy Susan. Unfortunately I couldn’t find large enough pans to hold this mess AND I wanted my counter back!

Then my DD told me of another solution – one that was super cheap and super easy – that fit my criteria! lol So, I set out to accomplish this task and I am happy to say it worked great! AND it WAS easy!

I got everything I needed at Dollar Tree and it cost about $13. Which makes each one cost about $0.55!

You start by bending the “feet” on the cooling racks out flat with the pliers. The arrow (not great image – lol) shows how they should look once you flatten them.

Then you want to count in to about the 3rd wire and bend the rack up on one side, then set one of your containers down on the flat side of the rack and see how many wires it covers.

If it sits on 3 wires then, move it, count over 3 wires and bend up the other side. Some of mine took up 2 wires and some took up 4 or more. So, you want to make sure they will fit so, make different sizes.

Once you have bent it up on both sides, then you’ll need to secure them so nothing falls out the ends. You can use twine:

you can also use yarn, tape, or ties like these:

Once you have them finished you can then hang them where ever you like. I used a few different types of Command hooks on mine, I wanted to see which worked best. You can hang them on the back of a door in a cabinet, or pantry or on the wall.

I have a large, long pantry so, I opted to hang them on the wall.

I made 8 in all and I LOVE them – they hold all of his spices perfectly and they are out of the way!

Keeping kids organized can be difficult… well, actually it IS difficult! But, to me, girls are harder to keep organized! They have more … stuff… just stuff! lol I have 3 boys and 1 girl, the oldest, her room was ALWAYS way more messy than her brothers – even when all the boys shared one room – hers was by far the most unorganized mess.

Even as a teen – she would organize it a couple of times a year and make it all nice and neat … and then… she would lose something… oh… my! lol I would go in there after her “hunt” and it was like a tornado had been through there – and then of course she would be late for something and have to “leave it for later”! lol

One day she had organized it so well and it looked great, her Uncle walked past her room and the door was open, he said “You have carpet in here?” lol

Now that my daughter has kids of her own and a daughter of her own – she is living my life all over again! lol She has 3 kids 2 boys and a girl, the girl is in a constant state of needing organization.

Today we are sharing this super easy and cute DIY Makeup Brush Or Pen & Pencil Holder my daughter just made for her daughter to help her organize her makeup area.

I thought it was perfect for small spaces to spruce up an area yet save space. It would be great for a college dorm room or desk, or any work area! It’s very cute and super easy and she bought all of the supplies at the Dollar store for less than $10!

DIY Makeup Brush Or Pen & Pencil Holder!

“We used a flower vase we already had. This is one is pretty large, so, it took 5 bags of marbles that I purchased at Dollar Tree for $1 each. If you don’t have a vase or candle holder that you want to use they have some really cute ones for $1 Dollar Tree, you can use 1 big one or a few smaller ones.”

Add the desired amount of marbles to your vase

stand the pens, pencils, or makeup brushes up in the marbles

That’s it, so easy – but, it looks great and makes things look so much neater and organized! If you have a kid that needs help in the makeup area or study area, this could be a perfect idea for you! Sometimes some fun new functional decor can help inspire them to organize the rest of the area.

This would also be a great space saver in a dorm room study or makeup area, too! It’s so cute and functional all while organizing and space saving – how practical and cute can you get?
